New X300 owner,Are they good mowers? Owner Opinions

[McSnapper]

I've had my X300 four years and have just over 100 hours on it -- it's performed flawlessly. With the added mulch "kit", it's a pleasure to mow. With some ditches and quite a lot of shrubbery/trees in our yard it took me a while to get the hang of mowing in close without having to use a push/trim mower quite a bit, but it really does it all well with time and experience. I really love my X300! :thumbsup:

I enjoy mine but so far it only has 5.5 hours on it due to the wet weather so I've been putting my old mower in the bad stuff till I get drains down.The only quirk I have is when I shut it off after mowing and the engine is warm and go back in say 5 minutes to restart it I get a puff of black fuel smoke and it runs uneven until I open the throttle to full,if I wait 30 minutes and restart it,no puff of black smoke and runs fine
